Thanks for your inputs

I'm quite convinced that it's not the light, look at the enginecowling, there's no way that it's only a shadow doing that. Also, I think it looks the same on "Yellow 5" in the JaPo book. The well known photo of Yellow 7 from JG300 probably show the same camo too, only that the engine cowling was replaced causing the effect that there's a dark band around the forward part of the nose, which in reality would have been the remains of a "round the cowling" RLM83 or RLM81 camo.
Veltro: Thanks for the decal theory by the way, that would explain my last problem with my own theory...
